Spot the CLOT: Treatment considerations for CAT
Abstract
This is the fourth and final article in the Spot the CLOT series. To date, we have addressed the significance of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with cancer, knowledge deficits about cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) in both cancer patients and providers, and opportunity for addressing these knowledge gaps. This article will focus on a practical treatment approach, supported by a theoretical framework. In addition, we will discuss idiopathic VTE, often the first clue of a yet to be discovered cancer.
